Episode 273 Six days of brutal sanding and scraping are behind us, and it’s finally time for the fun (and stressful) part: applying our homemade copper coat! Because of the strict "wet-on-tacky" application window, a two-day job quickly turned into an day and night marathon. We also take advantage of being high and dry to install a brand-new transducer. The clock is ticking down to splash day—let’s get it done! SailorsBay Check out this App http://www.sailorsbay.app/ Thank you to all our subscribers, without you the channel would not exist!

After the frustration of our saloon upholstery project, it was refreshing to finally find a local Tunisian company that delivered exactly what they promised. In this episode we visit a local print shop to have new SV Impavidus graphics produced, including replacement boom decals, YouTube branding and a fresh batch of business cards and stickers for the boat and a new boat stamp! We take a look behind the scenes at how the graphics are designed and manufactured before fitting the new decals aboard Impavidus. We also tackle another small but important maintenance job. The paddle wheel in our speed log had stopped working, so we remove the old unit, clean everything up, replace the O-rings, lubricate the seals correctly and fit a new impeller so we can once again measure our speed through the water. Sometimes it’s the small jobs that make a big difference before setting off on a Mediterranean passage. Join us aboard SV Impavidus as we continue preparing for the next stage of our voyage. #Sailing #Tunisia #BoatMaintenance #Liveaboard #SVImpavidus #MediterraneanSailing #Yachting #BoatLifeSail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid XX 🇬🇧 ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️ =================================================== 👋 We’re Ant & Cid aboard SV Impavidus – two adventurers sailing full-time since 2018.

Karen’s grinding on a winch, or at least trying to as it is stiff and hard. Our 32ST-58 Meissner winch on the port side of the boat is way too stiff. Steve starts to remove the pieces so that it can be properly cleaned and runs into a bit of a sticky situation. One of the pins holding in a bolt refuses to budge bringing the action to a full stop. For now, we’ll just keep soaking it with PB Blaster in an attempt to work it loose. That project will be continued later... You all know we love dancing! This time we shake a leg not only on Isabella’s bow but also go night clubbing and dance the night away. One thing not so fun are embarrassing moments. We share a couple with y’all during the comments portion of the video. Eeek, a leak in the crew cabin. Using the crew cabin as a garage to store various items and spare parts, we discover the ceiling has been warped due to a leak. To determine the source, Steve cuts a hole in the ceiling and finds that a cable clam on deck is the culprit. Find out how we fix it by watching that segment of DIY. To complete the front reverse cycle improvement from our last episode, we install, bypassing the small Groco strainer, a hose from the thru hull to a cut off valve in the new accessible area and then to the large Groco strainer. When cleaning the strainer, we have to shut off the water from the thru hull which is located under our bedding and some support boards in our main cabin. Now with the new valve, we can do it all from the see through panel; soooo much easier. Sending love and appreciation to our subscribers; we couldn’t do this without you.

For nearly a year, we've been slowly transforming our property into a place we can finally call home. In this episode of Building a Life on Land and Sea, I take you inside the tiny homes for the first time and show the progress that's been happening behind the scenes. The biggest challenge? Getting running water into the units. What sounded simple turned into weeks of digging, moving massive boulders, battling groundwater, and pumping out a trench that seemed determined to stay full. Living on a watershed definitely added a few surprises along the way. As I worked through each obstacle, I found myself relying on lessons learned during years of living aboard sailboats. Boat life taught me how to troubleshoot, adapt, and keep moving forward when plans fall apart. Those same skills are proving just as valuable here on land. Join me as I share the progress, setbacks, and victories of building a life that combines the best of both worlds—land and sea. ⚓ Subscribe for more episodes of Building a Life on Land and Sea. ————————————————————————— Stay connected! 🔗 Facebook: [facebook.com/bumsonaboat] Instagram: [instagram.com/bumsonaboat] #BumsOnABoat #TinyHome #Homestead #OffGridLiving #DIYBuild #BuildingALifeOnLandAndSea

Two years ago, we hauled ROAM out of the water expecting a six-month refit. This week, we finally put her back where she belongs. Getting to splash day wasn't nearly as straightforward as we'd hoped. In fact, we were supposed to relaunch two weeks earlier—until we discovered a critical missing part: our starboard lower rudder bearing. The bearing had been removed when we hauled out and, after deciding not to replace it, we asked for it to be reinstalled. Somewhere along the way, that never happened. After two years in the yard, it was gone for good. What followed was a frantic search for a replacement. In the end, the only realistic solution was ordering a new bearing directly from the original manufacturer in France. Once we finally made contact, they identified the correct part and shipped it across the Atlantic. Two weeks later, it arrived—and thankfully fit perfectly. With the bearing installed, we were back on the launch schedule. Because of our draft, we needed a midday high tide to get back into the water, which meant the yard had only a few hours to lift us, suspend us over a drainage ditch, reinstall both rudders, and get us launched. Needless to say, it was stressful. There has been a lot of turnover at the yard over the last two years, and many of the operators handling the lift were young and relatively inexperienced. Watching our entire world hanging being lifted onto a trailer is nerve-racking under the best circumstances. Watching it happen while you're wondering whether everyone involved has done this exact maneuver before is something else entirely. Thankfully, the launch went smoothly. After a slow and careful lift—with plenty of hammering on the hull to locate bulkheads for the lifting straps—ROAM was finally lowered back into the water. For the first time in two years, her hulls were wet. Then came the moment of truth. Over the course of this refit, we replaced every underwater thru-hull, removed and rebuilt both sail drives, serviced countless systems, and opened areas of the boat that hadn't been touched in decades. As soon as we were floating, we began moving from bilge to bilge checking for leaks. The good news? Everything stayed dry. Well... almost. We did discover one issue waiting for future us: one of the keels is taking on water internally. It's not leaking into the boat and poses no immediate danger, but it will need attention the next time we haul out—hopefully somewhere warm in the Caribbean. For now, though, we're floating. After two years of hard work, setbacks, delays, redesigns, and more than a few moments when we wondered if we'd ever get here, ROAM is finally back in the water. And what a relief that feels. ⛵ One step closer to sailing. 00:00 Zero days to go 00:39 Channel intro 00:57 Unexpected splash day 03:16 Splash Day take two 07:17 Starboard rudder install 08:24 Heading to the ditch 09:31 Port rudder install 11:23 Heading to the ramp 12:09 Getting her bottom wet 12:45 Checking for leaks 13:24 She’s floating! 13:59 Wrap up 14:20 Like/Subscribe 14:40 End Card ☝More about us, our adventures, and how we do all this on our website.More about Roam here ⛵️https://sailingroam.com/our-sailboat/ 📲 Keep up with us on social FACEBOOK: https://facebook.com/sgsailingroam INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/sailing_roam ----------------------------------------------------------- WE'RE GERI AND SHAWN.

👉 Shape this book and get the free first chapter: https://bethecaptain.com/pages/crew-field-research A guy learns to sail, earns his certifications, and signs on to crew a delivery to San Diego with two strangers who talked a big game about their offshore miles. On his watch the autopilot quits. The wind builds, the seas build, and when he calls for help to reef, the captain is too seasick to move and the rest of the crew won't come on deck. So he reefs alone, navigates through the storm, and single-hands the boat back into harbor. Then the captain wakes up and blames him. He did everything right. He'd never been taught to heave-to, because nobody ever brought it up. That story, and a stack of emails I get every week from people who dream about this life but can't find the door into it, is why I'm writing my next book: Be The Crew. It's for the new sailor, the career-changer, the 77-year-old who wants to earn his place on a good boat. Whether or not you've ever set foot on a deck.

In this episode, we set out to solve the engine mystery that’s been haunting us throughout our time in the Tuamotus. Our starboard engine won’t rev past 2000 RPM, and our port engine keeps shutting down completely—leaving us searching for answers fast. We try everything we can onboard: building our own fuel-polishing system, bypassing the fuel tanks, and eventually calling in a professional to help track down the problem. Just when we think we’ve checked everything, we uncover an unbelievable cause behind the port tank failure.

We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we had very NO sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia. So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too!

Hi and welcome aboard @SailingAstridTheWombat We are Gav and Shezz and two and a half years ago we bought our Beneteau Oceanis 430 sailboat with absolutely no sailing experience and jumped straight into the deep end of liveaboard sailing. Our very first passage was just over 700 nautical miles, launching us headfirst into the world of bluewater cruising, learning to sail, and real life at sea. Since that moment, we’ve been fully immersed in boat life, documenting the journey of turning a production cruising sailboat into a capable, self-sufficient home as we prepare for full-time liveaboard life. From major sailboat upgrades and off-grid power systems to everyday maintenance and skills building, we’re learning what it truly takes to own, sail, and live on a boat while working toward our goal of sailing around the world. If you’re into sailing adventures, beginner sailing, sailboat ownership, cruising lifestyle, and traveling the world by sailboat, our journey is all about real-time learning, ocean freedom, and building the confidence to chase long-term world cruising under sail. In this episode, we're one step closer to casting off the lines and beginning our dream of sailing around the world! With our departure date fast approaching, it's time to tackle more sailboat projects, boat maintenance, and liveaboard sailing preparations before we set sail for a full-time sailing adventure. This week aboard our cruising sailboat, we finally uncover our spinnaker and take a closer look at what could become one of the most important sails in our inventory. The only problem? We still need to learn how to use it! If you're a beginner sailor, aspiring cruiser, or someone interested in offshore sailing, you'll know that every new piece of equipment comes with a learning curve. Join us as we discuss our plans to master the spinnaker before heading offshore. We also take care of several important boat jobs that need to be completed before our circumnavigation begins. From repairing the battery cover to fixing our boom tent, we're working through the never-ending list of sailboat maintenance and upgrades that come with preparing a cruising yacht for long-term travel. These essential DIY boat repairs help keep our vessel safe, comfortable, and ready for life at sea. As part of our liveaboard sailing preparations, we also begin organising one of the biggest challenges of long-distance cruising—provisioning. We create a detailed provisioning spreadsheet to help us plan food storage, supplies, and essential items for extended periods away from marinas and supermarkets. Proper sailboat provisioning is a crucial step for anyone planning offshore passages, world cruising, or living aboard a sailboat full-time. If you love sailing videos, sailboat life, cruising adventures, DIY boat projects, sailing around the world, liveaboard living, yacht maintenance, offshore sailing, cruising preparation, boat life, and travel by sailboat, this episode is for you. Subscribe and follow our journey as we prepare to leave our current life behind and explore the world by sailboat.

What was supposed to be a simple day of maintenance and diagnostics on Lady Hawk’s 1962 Grenaa semi-diesel quickly turned into something else entirely. While working through lubrication, cooling, and a handful of issues raised by viewers in the last episode, we uncovered a problem in the high-pressure air start system that was a lot more serious than it first appeared. Just a few damaged threads were standing between normal operation and a potentially dangerous failure. Along the way we dive deeper into one of the last hot-bulb semi-diesels ever built, explore how this strange engine actually works, and continue preparing Lady Hawk for her upcoming voyage south. Sometimes progress looks like moving forward. Sometimes progress looks like finding the thing that could have hurt you before it gets the chance.

Five years ago, we bought Seabird, our Gulfstar 41 sailboat, for just €1 after she had been abandoned for 15 years. Since then, we’ve been slowly bringing this classic sailboat back to life through a full DIY restoration and refit. In this episode, we complete a major part of the galley rebuild. Progress has been slower lately following my cancer diagnosis, but we’re committed to finishing this project and getting Seabird back where she belongs: sailing.

This is the episode EVERYONE has been asking for! *Please hit the subscribe button for all things sailing and adventure - it really helps us out and makes us happy! 😃 Thanks A&R ❤️* One of the most common questions we get asked is: How much does it cost to live on a yacht full-time? In this video, we break down our real monthly live aboard expenses after spending a full season sailing and living aboard our 38ft catamaran in the Mediterranean. We'll cover everything from boat maintenance and wintering costs to marinas and provisioning. We also compare the cost of yacht living to life on land and reveal whether living on a yacht is actually cheaper than renting or owning a home. If you're dreaming of living on a sailboat, becoming a digital nomad, retiring on a yacht, or planning a sailing adventure around the world, we hope this video gives you a realistic look at the true cost of life on a sailing boat. *🎥 Watch our other cost breakdown videos:* ▶ How Much Our Catamaran Cost To Buy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYa4k1CsltY ▶ Everything We Bought To Live Aboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbg1JAjwbRs&t=1s ⚓ *In this video:* 00:00 - 00:33 Introduction 00:33 - 01:26 Other cost videos 01:26 - 02:42 Boat mortgages 02:42 - 03:36 How much is Boat Insurance? 03:36 - 04:45 Diesel costs 04:45 - 05:35 How Much do Marinas Cost? 05:35 - 06:35 Food and Provisioning 06:35 - 07:22 Cost of going to the Laundrette 07:22 - 08:18 How much does Starlink Cost? 08:18 - 08:27 European mobile sim 08:27 - 09:50 Entertainment and dining out 09:50 - 10:21 Mobile app subscriptions 10:21 - 11:45 Cost to maintain our boat 11:45 - 12:35 Winter storage 12:35 - 13:05 VISA applications 13:05 - 13:17 Our Total Monthly Costs 13:17 - 14:00 Cheaper than a house? ________________________________________________________________ Hey!

The Bay of Palma has become a natural mecca for Mediterranean sailing events. The central location, with easy access from mainland Spain, the French Riviera, Italy, and teams further afield coming across the Atlantic and through the Straits of Gibraltar, combined with those further south and east in the Med, make it ideal. Combine this with easy access by air, with their international airport, plus world-class yacht maintenance facilities, and you know that you have everything on hand. The Real Club Nàutico de Palma is well used to hosting international events: Copa del Rey, PalmaVela and the Trofeo Princesa Sofía are world-class, and attract the very best sailors from around the world. This experience brings with it the best of the best in race management. So the scene was set, the preparations had been made, and the yachts turned up from far and wide, with sailors representing Spain, Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, Italy, Norway, Hong Kong, China, Canada and Belgium. Bridging this gap between cruising and racing is vital for the sporting side of sailing, and events like the Spanish Gold Cup provide the perfect opportunity for recreational sailors to try their hand at competition. Inevitably, when they try it once, they come back to competition again, with more experience and a vast amount of knowledge on how to make their yacht go fast. Unlocking this extra speed builds owners' confidence and adds an extra dimension to their sailing, while also benefitting yacht racing itself with increased participation. Events like this simply can't happen without support, and huge thanks go to headline sponsor Nextcloud and supporting sponsors Elvstrom Sails, Cuarenta Vendimias, Equipyacht, Henri-Lloyd, Relojería Alemana, Tienda Colom, Greene Ocean Yacht Services, Pro-Rigging, Electromarine, Anodizing Yachts, Biniropes and B Marine Yachting.

After eight months tied to the dock in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Arabella is finally getting ready to move again. This week, Steve removes the winter cover, finishes a series of custom sewing projects aboard the boat, hauls Arabella for her spring maintenance, and gets her ready for another season of adventure. After a winter spent frozen into the harbor, everyone was eager to find out how the hull had survived months of ice, wind, and storms. Thankfully, the results were better than expected. With fresh paint, a serviced propeller, and a long list of projects finally checked off, Arabella is launched once again and begins her journey toward Newfoundland's remote south coast. For the first time in months, the boat is moving under sail—and summer adventures are finally within reach. -------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. -------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat supports A2A!

In this episode, I sit down with Steeve Baudry, who moved his wife and their two young kids, then just three and five, from a life across Europe and Latin America to a year and a half cruising the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and the US east coast aboard a Leopard 48 they bought out of charter and fitted out for bluewater cruising. Chapters: 0:00 Meet Steeve: cruising the Caribbean with his family 2:36 The spark: COVID, Costa Rica, and "we only have one life" 6:31 Getting your partner on board (without convincing them) 11:28 The surprises of life aboard 13:22 Buying a boat out of charter: the part that bites 15:41 Time vs. money: the spreadsheet that changes the math 19:52 Sourcing gear: Caribbean vs. the US 22:22 Adapting as a family: safety, the learning curve, and the "marriage-saver" 30:04 How the kids adapted, and finding other boat kids 33:30 Guests aboard (and why fewer visit than you expect) 41:17 Why the course was the turning point 43:30 The real payoff: growing closer as a family 48:41 What cruising kids learn, and going back to school 53:40 What's next: the pendulum between boat life and work 59:23 The truth about long-term cruising 1:01:43 His advice: build a real budget 1:04:14 The only real obstacle, and you're not alone 1:07:36 Wrap-up We get into the part most people gloss over: the reality of buying a boat out of charter. Steeve is refreshingly honest about what he wishes he had known before signing, especially how much of the dream turns out to be maintenance. We talk about the time the upkeep really takes, learning to let some things go before they drive you crazy, and why you budget for the unexpected instead of hoping it stays away. It is also a real family story. His wife was not into sailing at the start, and he shares how the Bluewater Cruising course reset her expectations and got them on the same page, how the kids adapted to life aboard, and the honest pros and cons for a young family. We get into what makes it all worth it too: sharing the experience with guests, finding a small community of like minded people after everyone told them they were crazy, and how the whole thing changes you and makes you better back on land. If you are weighing an ex charter boat, or wondering what cruising with young kids actually asks of you, this is the honest version.

2015 Leopard 48 Jubilee US Import Duty Paid Available in St Petersburg Fl Asking $449,000 Jubilee represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the nicest Leopard 48s currently available on the market. Recently refreshed with extensive maintenance, mechanical servicing, and cosmetic improvements, she offers the ideal combination of proven cruising capability and turnkey readiness. One of the most striking recent upgrades was the professional removal of her gray hull wrap, revealing exceptionally well-preserved original gelcoat beneath. Protected from years of direct UV exposure, the hulls retain an impressive shine and appearance that immediately set Jubilee apart from comparable vessels. Combined with recent bottom paint, rigging work, saildrive service, and numerous system upgrades, she presents as a vessel that has benefited from significant recent investment. Originally purchased before entering the bareboat charter fleet, Jubilee has spent much of her life under private ownership and private cruising. She has cruised the East Coast and Caribbean successfully and remains ready for her next owners to continue the adventure. Whether your plans include Bahamas cruising, Caribbean passages, liveaboard life, or extended offshore exploration, Jubilee is equipped and prepared to go. Why Buy Jubilee? Unlike many Leopard 48s that come to market with lengthy deferred maintenance lists, Jubilee has already undergone substantial post-survey improvements and upgrades. Highlights include: Original gelcoat recently uncovered after wrap removal New bottom paint (2025) New propellers (2025) New anchor chain (2025) New Mantus anchor (2026) New underwater lights (2025) Saildrives serviced with new housings (2025) New cap shrouds (2025) Main engine service completed Port and starboard engine heat exchangers replaced (2026) Northern Lights generator recently serviced, including injectors and fuel pump Two windows replaced and majority of windows professionally rebedded Additional window rebedding scheduled Radar Eisenglass enclosure (2022) New sail bag 840 watts of solar 3,000-watt inverter/charger Spectra watermaker (pickled for several years) Freshwater electric heads AB tender with Suzuki 25HP outboard New engine start batteries Generator battery replaced Learn more at https://catamaranbrokerage.com/2015-leopard-48-jubilee Contact us to make her yours

A 40-year boatbuilder and former charter-fleet operator breaks down which cheap, used cruising sailboats are actually worth buying, and which ones will eat your savings and your dream. If you are shopping for a first bluewater boat on a budget, watch this before you wire a deposit. Kyle Jachney has over 40 years in the boat business, grew up in one of the first charter operations in the Caribbean (a thousand charters a year at its peak), and has had his hands on close to 400 Hylas builds. I commissioned his boats, and this is the conversation I wish every first-time buyer could sit in on. We cover the builders worth your money from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, the ones to admire from the dock and walk away from, the keel-bolt panic YouTube got wrong, why high engine hours don't scare him, the plumbing job everyone skips, and the brutal math on the "needs TLC" bargain boat.

In this episode, we make our final preparations for the challenging Red Sea passage, carrying out a detailed risk assessment, reviewing security procedures, and notifying the relevant maritime authorities of our planned route. With the boat ready and the crew briefed, we head out into the Indian Ocean. But before long, an unexpected encounter puts our preparations to the test. A suspicious-looking vessel appears on the horizon and seems to be closing in on our position. Following the plans we've carefully put in place, we move through our security procedures and prepare for the possibility of a more serious situation. Fortunately, not everything is as it first appears. After some tense moments and plenty of watchful eyes, the mystery vessel reveals itself to be a fishing boat, which eventually alters course and leaves us in peace. Join us as we leave paradise behind, prepare for one of the most talked-about passages in the cruising world, and experience a real-world reminder of why preparation at sea is so important. ⚓ Departing the Maldives ⚓ Red Sea passage planning and risk assessment ⚓ Maritime security preparations ⚓ Suspicious vessel encounter at sea ⚓ Life aboard during a major ocean passage If you enjoy our adventures, don't forget to like, subscribe, and join us for the next leg of the journey. --- MUSIC CREDITS: --- 💙 SUPPORT OUR CHANNELS: A big THANK-YOU to our MOTHERSHIP PATREON family who make these videos possible.

After weeks of offshore passages, unexpected challenges, and nonstop movement, we finally wake up in one of the most beautiful cruising destinations in the world: the San Blas Islands of Panama. With only one day to explore before continuing our journey, we move Escapade into crystal-clear shallow waters and set out to discover why sailors fall in love with this Caribbean paradise. From snorkelling reefs to visiting one of the most popular islands among cruisers—with its beach bar, hammocks in the water, and even an overwater bungalow—we soak up everything San Blas has to offer. Jason and Tom head out spearfishing, successfully catching invasive lionfish before feeding the remains to the waiting reef sharks below. Then, just as quickly as we arrived, it's time to move on. The next morning, we set sail for mainland Panama, where Escapade will be hauled out for routine maintenance and final preparations before our biggest adventure yet: crossing the Pacific Ocean. ⛵ Join us aboard our 40ft sailboat, Escapade, as we continue our full-time sailing journey through the Caribbean and beyond. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🔥 If you're enjoying the videos, you can Hype this episode on YouTube to help support the channel and share our adventures with more people. 🎥 Watch from the beginning: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcpg_1nM2Z5zzbEr20cfs0K1W3FAV46DJ 🫶🏽 Patreon (early access / ad-free): https://www.patreon.com/Leadingtheescapade ☕ One-off support: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/leadingtheescapade

This week I replace the propeller on my 2019 Torqeedo Travel 1103C electric outboard. Apparently I hit something with it last season and it got a small "nick" on the outside of one of the blades. I sailed with it like that throughout the Fall, but I noticed it had a lot of vibration. So in this episode, I show step-by-step how to remove the propeller, replace the sheer pin, and mount the new propeller. Overall, a very easy DIY job on the Torqeedo Travel electric outboard.

In this episode, I sit down with Steeve Baudry, who moved his wife and their two young kids, then just three and five, from a life across Europe and Latin America to a year and a half cruising the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and the US east coast aboard a Leopard 48 they bought out of charter and fitted out for bluewater cruising. We get into the part most people gloss over: the reality of buying a boat out of charter. Steeve is refreshingly honest about what he wishes he had known before signing, especially how much of the dream turns out to be maintenance. We talk about the time the upkeep really takes, learning to let some things go before they drive you crazy, and why you budget for the unexpected instead of hoping it stays away. It is also a real family story. His wife was not into sailing at the start, and he shares how the Bluewater Cruising course reset her expectations and got them on the same page, how the kids adapted to life aboard, and the honest pros and cons for a young family. We get into what makes it all worth it too: sharing the experience with guests, finding a small community of like minded people after everyone told them they were crazy, and how the whole thing changes you and makes you better back on land. If you are weighing an ex charter boat, or wondering what cruising with young kids actually asks of you, this is the honest version.

Episode 272 Drama at anchor and a 110-mile passage! Our stay in Airlie Beach started peacefully, but things took a turn when a neighboring catamaran dragged its anchor and crashed right into our bow, leaving us with some unexpected damage. Once the dust settled, we pulled up anchor and set sail for Gloucester Passage to do a little exploring—though, truth be told, there wasn't much to see! From there, it was time for a big push: a 110-mile passage to Townsville. We pulled an early morning departure and pushed through the night, dropping anchor just 10 miles short of our destination at midnight.

After days of wiring puzzles, mystery cables, and one very bold "just go for it" moment — the Furuno 710C autopilot is ALIVE. Watch the Beard Man wrestle four cables through the hull, decode a hydraulic pump with no ground wire (spoiler: it still works), and hit that sweet "Test Complete" screen for the first time. From fixing a humidity-killed TAPO solar security camera to routing twin heavy-gauge cables through the engine bay all the way to the nav station, this episode is pure liveaboard boat-project energy — equal parts frustration, improvisation, and genuine sticker-on-the-fridge celebration when the rudder actually moves in the right direction. With the autopilot done, the only thing standing between SV GOAT and departure is the new Furuno radar swap on the mast and a few dollops of silicone on the deck. The open water is getting very, very close.

Karen is jumping rope again much to Steve's delight. We decided to dance to some Blues and discussed other reasons to live or not to live on a sailboat. We addressed a few viewer comments. Thank you so much subscribers! ❤️ If you haven't already please hit the subscribe button. Isabella has two reverse cycle units that provide us with air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter. Water flows through from the outside into a strainer which is pumped into the unit and then discharged back to the environment. Summer heat has arrived bringing hot weather and warm seas. It means it’s growing season and lots of stuff collects in the reverse cycle units’ strainers causing the water flow to the unit to decrease. Cleaning the strainer of our front air conditioner is a bit of a hassle since it is located under the bed in the main cabin. Ahhh, another DIY project...let's make it easier to clean the strainer by moving from under the cabin bed. We opened up an access door so the Groco strainer could be reached for cleaning without moving the bedding, cushions, and support boards. Steve drilled a pilot hole first so that the jigsaw could be used to cut through the wainscoting wall under the bed.

Salut les loulous 🌊⛵ Aujourd'hui, je vous présente mon bidon de survie, ou grab bag. C'est le sac que l'on emporterait en priorité en cas d'abandon du bateau. À l'intérieur, tout le nécessaire pour tenir les premiers jours : eau, nourriture, trousse médicale, matériel de pêche et quelques équipements indispensables. L'exercice consiste surtout à réfléchir à ce qui est vraiment essentiel et mérite d'être emporté en urgence. De mon côté, je me lance dans la réparation de la grand-voile. J'en profite également pour recoudre le drapeau et les pavillons, qui ont bien souffert après de longs mois en mer. Autre chantier du jour : la révision des winchs. Après une année d'utilisation intensive, un démontage, un nettoyage et un bon graissage s'imposent. Un entretien indispensable pour conserver un matériel fiable et éviter les mauvaises surprises lors des prochaines manœuvres. Entre maintenance, réparations et préparation à l'imprévu, la vie à bord suit son rythme, toujours guidée par la même règle : anticiper pour naviguer sereinement. ⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓ Merci à vous tous pour vos commentaires, vos likes et surtout de vous êtes abonné , ça motive les troupes ....

We woke up before sunrise for one reason... waves. After hearing rumours about a wave hidden far offshore, we loaded up Stella, picked up our friends, and set sail into the open ocean to see if it was really as good as everyone claimed. What we found was something special. From chasing perfect waves and anchoring right beside the break, to fishing for a birthday barbecue, servicing the engine, dodging squalls, and sailing through strong winds, this episode is a glimpse into what life is really like aboard our sailboat in Indonesia. Life out here is never just about the destination. It's about the people we meet, the adventures we stumble into, and the incredible places we discover along the way.

While repairing grounding damage on our catamaran, we discovered standing water inside a sealed compartment that shouldn't have contained any water at all. After being hauled out for repairs following our Florida Keys grounding, we begin tackling a long list of maintenance projects aboard our Royal Cape 500 catamaran. This week we remove the damaged rudders, repair the rollers on our sliding door, and remachine the aluminum boom crane shaft that was bent during our recent mishap. We also take a short break to visit Orlando and explore a local park before diving back into boat projects. But the biggest surprise comes when we discover standing water hidden inside a sealed compartment beneath our stairs. The water appears to be leaking into the hull, creating a mystery we weren't expecting to solve. In this episode: ⚓ Removing damaged rudders after our grounding ⚓ Repairing sliding door rollers ⚓ Machining and rebuilding our boom crane ⚓ Discovering hidden water inside the boat ⚓ Investigating a leak inside a sealed compartment ⚓ Cleaning and opening previously inaccessible spaces The investigation continues in the next episode as we track down the source of the leak and begin repairs.

Protecting Against Boatyard Fire: http://practical-sailor.com/boat-maintenance/protecting-against-boatyard-fire/ Your sailboat has a hidden hole below the waterline, and the stuffing box, shaft seal, or saildrive is what keeps that hole from becoming a serious leak. In this Practical Sailor episode, we explain everything sailors need to know about sailboat stuffing boxes, packing glands, flax packing, dripless shaft seals, prop shaft leaks, and saildrive maintenance. We cover how a traditional stuffing box works, why it may need to drip under power, how stuffing box packing is maintained, what causes overheating or shaft damage, and what to inspect before buying a used sailboat. We also compare traditional stuffing boxes with dripless shaft seals and saildrives, including saildrive diaphragm replacement, gear oil checks, anodes, corrosion, and the hidden maintenance issues that can lead to expensive repairs or even a sinking sailboat. If you’re searching for sailboat maintenance tips, how to repack a stuffing box, how to maintain a saildrive, how to inspect a prop shaft seal, or what causes water in the bilge, this video breaks it down in a practical, technical, and easy-to-understand way. Practical Sailor is your trusted resource for reviews of sailboats and sailing gear. https://www.practical-sailor.com Chat with us on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/PracticalSailor/

The anchor was sitting on the dock, the windlass refused to turn, and when I opened the control box I found the problem: the solenoid was never installed. Not failed. Missing. Something tells me nobody ever tested it. In this episode we finish the commissioning. I install the new solenoid, fix the furler wiring that came swapped from the factory, and rig the ground tackle properly, with a full masterclass on anchor swivels, shackle loading, and lock-wiring so it never comes apart and never cuts a hand. Then the crew from Nance & Underwood tunes the rig in two days flat, and we get the payoff: the first sail of Hull #9, plus why every brand-new rig needs re-tuning under load once the construction stretch sets in. We close with the full walkthrough: three chainplates per side, the old-school structure almost nobody builds anymore, some of the best stainless welding I have ever seen on a production boat, Manship hatches throughout, and an interior in white oak and teak. ⏪ MISSED PART 1?
